Our therapists provide anxiety therapy in Lafayette, LA

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through compassionate, culturally responsive care. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, identity development, and healing from past emotional wounds. I create a warm, emotionally safe space where clients can reconnect with themselves, restore their energy, and imagine what’s possible.

I hold a master’s in social work from Louisiana State University. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and strength-based, mindfulness-informed care. I provide insight-building psychoeducation and tools clients can use beyond the therapy room.

Whether you are facing a tough season, supporting your child, or simply needing a space to feel heard, I am here to help. I offer a grounded, compassionate approach that meets you where you are and supports meaningful progress at your pace. When you are ready, I welcome you to take the next step and schedule a session with me.

I am a licensed professional counselor and clinical director with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about their next steps, and who are seeking healing, clarity, and emotional stability. My goal is to provide a supportive, client-centered space where individuals can build coping skills, process challenges, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

I use a client-centered, trauma-informed approach integrating CBT, coping skills, and strengths-based techniques. I specialize in trauma, grief, and emotional regulation, helping clients build insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and feel empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone—I am here to support you with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for change. When you’re ready, I invite you to take that first step toward healing and becoming the best version of yourself.

After many years in social work, I've come to believe that the most effective therapy doesn't come from a one-size-fits-all approach, but from meeting you exactly where you are. I believe in deeply individualized care, partnering with you to identify your goals and help you make rapid, meaningful progress. With a unique perspective shaped by my own journey through challenges and trauma, I offer an open-minded, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly understood and empowered to heal. 

My approach is client-centered and eclectic—I tailor my methods to your unique needs rather than one fixed style. I draw on CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy and specialize in trauma-informed care and grief counseling. Whether processing trauma, facing a crisis, or adjusting to change, I'm here to create a space where you feel heard and empowered.

I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to act as a supportive guide on your journey toward healing. You've already shown immense strength by looking for support. Let's work together to build on that strength - I invite you to book your first appointment today and to begin the next chapter.
